Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

A synthesis reaction is one that involves the combination of more than one reactants to form a single product. This is directly opposite to a decomposition reaction where a complex compound is broken down into various products.

Examples of synthesis reaction are;

1. The combination of sodium with chlorine to form sodium chloride.

2. The combination of hydrogen and oxygen to form water

so explaining what Brianna did, the models of clay are the reactants coming together to form a single product which is the sculpture.
